Description Pen 2019-11-28 22:16:38 UTC
Description:
I had this problem before and I thought it had been worked on, since I previously reported it. I am using Windows 10. The file is an RTF file, which I opened in LibreOffice Writer. It had styles already assigned. All of the styles, page, paragraph, etc, I am able to modify except for those pertaining to the footnotes.I cannot change (specifically) the font size of the footnotes using the styles.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open the file
2.attempt to modify the font size of any portion of the footnote at the bottom of a page
3.Click apply and accept

Actual Results:
The font size may change for the one word where the cursor is placed, but will not effect the rest of the footnote, or effect other footnotes in the document.

Expected Results:
I would like to change the style (in particular the font size) for all of the footnotes.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Since the other styles, in the body of the paper, worked properly, I would hope that the problem could be resolved for the footnotes. This is a process that I hope to repeat many times and put to much use in South America. I hope you can fix it! I have heard that OpenOffice does not have this problem, but I don't use OpenOffice. I use LibreOffice OFTEN and am very happy with its usefulness. I can send an example for testing.

So there is already a bug report aout your problem?

Attached file is odt-file. And I can't reproduce your problem there.

So please, if you've reported the problem before, give informations about it (because it's a duplicate then). If it's a new report, please attach rft-file.
